Uncle Rob Turbo Yukon: We Decided To Use The STOCK Exhaust... Can You Still Hear Turbo Sounds?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the welding process for the new exhaust section. He first tacks the pieces together, including a flex pipe and V-band clamps, to create a custom downpipe. The welding quality is noted as 'not the greatest' due to missing gas lenses for the welder and high humidity affecting the GoPro lens, but the goal is functionality. The assembly needs to be designed in sections with V-band clamps to allow for easy removal and installation, as snaking a long, rigid pipe up to the turbocharger would be impossible.

Goal: Fabricate a segmented exhaust downpipe with flex pipe and V-band clamps.

Tools and materials

  • 3-inch Exhaust Pipe — The main exhaust tubing
  • Flex Pipe — Allowing for movement and reducing stress in the exhaust system
  • V-band Clamps — Connecting exhaust sections for serviceability
  • Welder — Joining exhaust components
  • Welding Mask — Protecting eyes and face during welding
